Chapter 56 The Might of Sword Control (Seeking Follow-Up Reads)
The consecutive deaths of two knights brought a chilling silence to the Blood Lizard Gang riders who had previously been screaming and howling.
Messages began to flood their combat group chat.
"He killed Ravend?"
"What's going on? Ravend was a Captain; how could he be slain with a single strike?"
"I don't understand, how did Ravend suddenly die? What method did this guy use to kill him?"
"Miao Bin is dead too, he used the Red Thunder Saber and probably had Thunder Blood implanted, the power of lightning is extremely strong!"
"A Bin! He killed A Bin, A Bin is dead too."
While they were puzzled and uncertain, Lin Rui had already swung his sword again, cutting down two more riders from their motorcycles, his monomolecular combat knife being sharper, faster, and more dangerous than the practice knife he had originally used.
This drove all the Blood Lizard Gang riders into a furious rage.
"Kill him!"
"Get closer! Speed up, speed up!"
In an instant, over a dozen hover motorcycles abandoned the chase of the business-wing car and instead veered in the direction of Lin Rui to encircle him.
Sitting inside the wing car, Lin Xi's heart almost stopped, she pressed against the window looking at Lin Rui, for some reason, the cabin kept sounding alarms: "Please note, abnormal air pressure inside the cabin! Please note, abnormal air pressure inside the cabin!"
It was at this moment that the engines of the two modified wing cars in front suddenly exploded, countless pieces of metal shrapnel blasted out, and both cars lost control, tumbling violently ahead.
Lin Xi's pupils brightened, her heart finally relaxed, feeling confident that Lin Rui could indeed handle these bastards.
Those were flying needles! The flying needles Lin Rui purchased yesterday had, under his control, lodged directly into the engines of the two wing cars.
Shortly after the explosion, three more motorcycle riders inexplicably fell off their bikes.
A blood hole appeared in the center of their foreheads, their eyes filled with disbelief and confusion.
Those modified hover motorcycles crashed into the glass curtain walls of the high-speed pipeline, exploding into three scorching fireballs, with metallic shrapnel scattering in all directions.
Sparks burst continuously around Lin Rui, producing a ringing clangour.
Several guns were firing at him at the moment, luckily none of the Blood Lizard Gang members had high-powered submachine guns in their hands, and the velocity of the pistol bullets was only thrice the speed of sound.
Lin Rui swung his long sword, deftly blocking the bullets, using the bodies of surrounding Blood Lizard Gang riders for cover, dodging and blocking, barely managing to remain unscathed.
Lin Rui then seized the opportunity to leap onto another motorcycle speeding by.
The rider on this bike, also a Captain-ranked military cultivator, saw Lin Rui soaring towards him and immediately let out an angry roar.
"Seeking death, I'll grant it—"
"Clang!"
Amidst the piercing sound of thunder and metal, the man's head was cut off by Lin Rui, and his body was kicked off the hover bike.
There were still nine motorcycle riders around the wing car, most of them in panic.
"Boss Jack, do you know what's going on?"
"Gao Jing is dead too; that guy's knife is fast, but with Gao Jing's abilities, he shouldn't have fallen."
"Gao Jing was very strong; his meridian system was all top grade!"
"And our wing cars, how could their engines explode all of a sudden? Those were Atlantic Union military armored vehicle engines, though they were scrapped—"
"It's flying needles! Be careful, he can use flying needles!"
"This guy hasn't had artificial blood serum implanted, has he? A mere Lieutenant, how can he be so strong? His speed is so fast, and he can use flying needles, what model are his meridians?"
At that moment, the man wearing sunglasses and a gold tooth in his mouth had his face filled with shock and rage, the eyes behind the sunglasses nearly bursting with veins, a fiery red.
When he received the order from his sister-in-law, he hadn't considered this mission a big deal, nor had he taken this sibling pair seriously.
The only thing he found troublesome about this mission was the business flying-wing car from Ambola Shared Car Company. The defensive system of this model was so powerful that it could withstand the homemade rockets they had crafted.
But the money his sister-in-law had given him this time was a lot, enough to spare no expense.
His brothers were also excited, treating this mission as if it were a hunting game, just like the nobility of ancient times hunting animals.
Gold-Tooth Jack could never have imagined that this young man named Lin Rui would turn out to be so dangerous, so tough to deal with, and bring them such great losses.
They had already lost 10 men—long-time followers with strong combat capabilities.
Especially the two captains who were Martial Cultivators with cybernetic implants, their implants alone were worth two million Federation dollars.
And those two modified flying-wing cars were also worth as much as 400,000 Federation dollars each.
Today's battle nearly shattered the power he had worked so hard to build!
"Damn it! Die! You bastard!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gold-Tooth Jack gritted his teeth fiercely and let out a roar like a wounded beast. He tossed aside his pistol and leaped from the vehicle into the air, pouncing in Lin Rui's direction.
However, Lin Rui had already taken off from that motorcycle one step earlier and arrived above another vehicle. With a flash of his 'monomolecular combat knife,' he cut off the head of a knight along with a good portion of their shoulder.
Next, his figure darted about like a nimble monkey. With every leap, every slash of the knife, he would claim a life. His monomolecular combat knife, combined with the flying needles he controlled, was simply unstoppable. None of the Blood Lizard Gang members could withstand a single blow from him.
Gold-Tooth Jack kept chasing from behind but was always one step too slow, fueling the furious rage in his heart to a burn.
That bastard could even use electromagnetic force to control the engine, slowing down the floating motorcycle he was driving.
He could only wave his chain saw sword frantically, crying out in angry desperation, "I'll slaughter you! If you get caught by me, I swear I'll slaughter you, I'll chop you into pieces!"
However, after Lin Rui killed four men, the remaining few Blood Lizard Gang riders had already fallen apart, one by one, creating distance and even driving into the on-ramps that appeared ahead.
At that moment, Gold-Tooth Jack's floating motorcycle suddenly accelerated, finally catching up to Lin Rui.
Gold-Tooth Jack realized in an instant that Lin Rui had done this deliberately, relinquishing his control over the engine. This guy was intent on settling the score with him, with Gold-Tooth Jack!
He let out a burst of crazed laughter, his eyes revealing a look of bloodthirsty madness, "You want to kill me? Then come on!"
He was Gold-Tooth Jack! He was nothing like those captain-level losers Lin Rui had killed before.
Not only was his spiritual power intact, but every aspect of his physical constitution had also reached the level of a major. His implanted meridian system was even the 'Hunter' model regulated by the federal government—a complete set of cybernetic implants!
Moreover, the synthetic serum he'd been injected with was derived from a high-ranking demon on the planet Tianji Star!
Just as the two motorcycles were about to collide, a harsh metallic clang and a series of dazzling sparks erupted between them.
The chain saw sword and the monomolecular combat knife collided fiercely, spewing forth a stream of blinding sparks.
Lin Rui was clearly outmatched. Not only was his blade speed much slower than Gold-Tooth Jack's, but his strength was also far inferior. After only two strikes, he was almost unable to stand, and even the floating motorcycle he was on wobbled unstably.
This motorcycle had been heavily modified, and although the power was exceedingly strong, the automatic driving system and the vehicle's stability system were as crappy as shit.
Gold-Tooth Jack laughed maniacally, his facial muscles contorting into a ferocious look, "You son of a bitch, go to hell, die!"
With just two more strikes, he could chop this man up alive.
But at that moment, Gold-Tooth Jack suddenly saw a streak of sword light flash towards his neck.
"Sword Control Technique?"
This guy could even wield Sword Control!
Gold-Tooth Jack felt a chill rush to his skull, causing goosebumps all over his body.
He managed to dodge the fatal strike to his neck at the last moment, but his left shoulder and arm were sliced off by the sword light, spraying a fountain of fresh blood and eliciting a scream of agony from Gold-Tooth Jack.
